HISTORIC IMAGERY

Former site of the beautiful historic Emerson public school that was demolished, the Doric Motor Hotel opened in 1960 to much acclaim. An iconic hot spot for boxing matches live streamed on TV, television fundraiser marathons, weddings, proms, and more, it fell into decay years later and sat vacant – but still full of memories: First loves. First prom night. Wedding dances. Daughter-Father dance.

Many of our residents remember their very first Firsts at the Doric. Those who couldn’t experience it then can feel the Spirit of the Past in our hallways now…bringing one back to the Good Old Days.
